Watermelon Whimsy Table Runner

Hi there! I am super excited to share my newest pattern with you guys!! I have had so much fun creating this pattern. I have a love for all things watermelon right now - and this table runner is perfect for your summer table!

This pattern is a mixture of piecing and raw-edge appliqué. I don't share a ton of appliqué patterns - but I LOVE appliqué. It is so easy and you can really change up the look of the final product by how you stitch your appliqué on. I love to do some messy sketch stitching on my appliqué pieces - I love the scrappy/primitive look. The other thing I love so much about stitching my appliqué on this way - is that you don't have to be perfect! That's the point! No super straight lines here! Just a lot of fun stitching to give your runner some character!

For my quilting - I did a meandering pattern on the background. I left the black border alone, and then did some meandering on the red gingham border. The binding is the black swiss dot - which I think just finishes the table runner off nicely!
